The Wrong One (Destiel)

Chapter 13

CAS' POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up to an annoying beeping sound that just doesn't seem to go away. I snuggle close to Dean trying to tune out the sound but it doesn't stop. I roll out of bed to investigate, opening my door and walking downstairs. I walk into the kitchen and I'm engulfed my a cloud of smoke. The first thing I see is Gabriel frantically fanning the smoke alarm and then I notice the still slightly burning and smoking pan of what must have been eggs sitting on the stove. I quickly grab the pan and throw it in the sick running cold water over it. After the eggs stopped smoking I drag a chair under the alarm, take it off the wall and take the batteries out setting it on the table.
"Were you trying to start the house on fire or are you just that bad at cooking?" I laugh out after the alarm finally stops going off.
Gabriel's cheeks turn red, "I was just making some scrambled eggs then I stepped out of the kitchen to get my things in my backpack and then suddenly the alarm went off! I didn't want to wake you up but I'm sorry.."
"What's with all the racket?" We both look at the doorway and see a groggy Dean holding Claire in one arm and rubbing his eyes with his free hand, "Claire said she got scared of the noise and woke me up."
I stare at him baffled, "You didn't wake up to the fire alarm?"
He looks at the table where the alarm and batteries are laying then let's out a low chuckle looking back at me, "I guess I'm a really deep sleeper?"
We both laugh then I start helping Gabriel make a successful breakfast as Dean takes Claire into the living room to watch cartoons.

Gabriel and I dish everyone up then sit down at the table together. Through a mouth full of food Dean starts talking to me, "So Cas do you maybe want to go to school so we can get our things?"
I sigh realizing I have to go back anyways to tell them I'll be dropping out, "Okay yeah we probably should.." Dean stands up picking up my empty dish and walks over to the sink to start cleaning them.
"You guys are going to be late for school if you don't hurry up!" Gabriel says jumping up out of his chair. He grabs his backpack off the counter and heads out the door.
I leave Dean to do the dishes while I go get Claire ready to come with us, "Uncle Cassie are we going to your school now?"
"Yes we are why?" I ask as I brush her hair.
"I'm excited to go to school" she says with a huge grin on her face.
"When you're old enough you can go to school and learn lots of new cool stuff!" I finish with her hair letting it fall down across her shoulders , "Let's go downstairs I'm sure Dean is waiting for us."

We walk down the stairs and find Dean standing by the door holding two coats. He hands me my tan trench coat and helps Claire put hers on, then he lifts her up and carries her out the door as I follow close behind. I run into Dean as he stops suddenly staring at something. I follow his gaze and see a black car across the street, Dean takes off and runs over to the car setting Claire down next to it. I follow him over and see hes reading a note that must have been on the windshield.

"Uhm Dean what are you doing?' he turns to me with a big smile on his face then suddenly opens the driver side door hopping in.

"Cas, get Claire's car seat. today were driving baby to school." i give him a weird look but do as he says.

After I get Claire situated in the back seat I sit beside Dean on the passenger side, "Dean really what are we doing in.." he hands me the note as he reaches in the glove compartment pulling out the keys. i turn my attention to the note.

"You better thank your brother for this! you know where the keys are. Love Mom"

I let out a small laugh as I look at how happy Dean is to have his car back. he's nearly jumping out of his seat as he starts the ignition and drives us to the school.

When we pull up I feel like I'm going to puke. I never thought I'd drop out of school and now here I was about to walk in and ask for the papers. I was going to give up my education, my whole future! I feel like I'm dying inside until i look back at Claire and realize it'll all be okay. I'm doing what's best for her and this way I can give her a better future.

Dean gets Claire out of her car seat and sets her on the ground. She reaches out to hold Dean's hand and holds on tight. The walk over to me and Dean puts his arm around me then we all walk to the office. We decide that Dean will get the paperwork while I take Claire to our lockers and start cleaning them out. I start with Dean's locker which was almost completely empty except for a notebook and two pens. Seven lockers down is my locker which has my backpack, books, papers, and other school supplies. I sigh happy my backpack is still inside and start cramming things in it. I'm able to hoist the bag on my back as Dean walks over with a stack of papers.

He looks at the stack, sighs, then looks back to me, "We've got a lot of work tonight. Can we stop in the art room I want to get my projects."

"Yeah we should, I almost forgot about mine."

We walked into the art room and found it completely empty. I'm happy no one is here to bombard us with questions while we get our things together. I walk over to the cupboard where are projects are kept and pull out a few of my unfinished works. I go through the pile and realize I'm missing one and start to look around the room, that's when I spot Dean staring at a project on the wall. I walk over to him to see what exactly he's looking at and as I stand next to him he turns and smirks at me. I let out a small gasp and begin to blush when I realize it's the first project we did in this class, the one we had to create something or someone we cared about. I stare at the pair of big bright green eyes that take up the whole paper and let out a little smirk. It was the first time Dean had seen this since he was in the hospital the entire time I worked on it.

"Wow, Cas I wonder whose eyes those are?" I look up at Dean who is holding back the biggest smirk I've ever seen.

"Shut up, I got my stuff now let's go." I start walking out the door with Claire following close behind.

We're halfway down the hallway when Claire starts pulling on my sleeve, "Cassie what about Bean!" I stop and turn around realizing Dean isn't behind us.

Claire and I quickly walk back to the art room and I peek my head through the door to see Dean still staring at the drawing on the wall. I watch as he carefully takes the drawing down and puts it in his stack of projects as he turns toward the door. I quickly pull my head out and lean against the wall outside the room.

As soon as he's out the door Claire jumps on him, getting him to pick her up, "Bean what took you so long?"

"I just had to get a few more things, don't worry." He laces his fingers with mine and we head towards the front doors of the school.

I put Claire in her carseat as Dean sits in the driver seat, starting the car and turning the heat on. He tosses his projects on the seat next to Claire and one falls to the ground. I reach to pick it up but stop to look at it. Its the same project he was working on that first day of class still unfinished but full of color. The pond is bright blue, the giant willow casts shadows across the pond, and the flowers surrounding it all are bright vibrant colors. It's a beautiful place I think as I gently set it on the pile with the rest of the projects.

We pull into my driveway and Dean goes to get Claire and I grab our school things. as I walk inside i can't help but keep looking at Dean's drawing of he willow tree. I put everything on the kitchen table and keep looking at it when Dean comes up behind me putting his arms around me and whispers in my ear, "I'll take you there some day don't worry."

I smile and turn so I'm facing him, "No rush sweet cheecks." He smiles at me the pulls me in for a long kiss.
